There are five stanzas here, three lines each. 8, 12 and 4 syllables respectively. I used this style to create a feeling of inclompleteness, a feeling of something-more-to-do, of promises left to redeem (Please tell me if I failed desperately). And the rhyme is like this: the first two lines of each stanza end in a rhyme, and the last lines of all stanzas end rhyming “you”. Phew.

The play is done, the curtains close;
The time has come for us to walk away with those
Memories few.
The heart knows not how to forget;
You’ll remain my guiding star as we ourselves set
Onto paths new.
An enduring strength in all pains,
A soothing answer to all questions, there remains
A promise due:
On a day quite far from today,
Across a million miles, your breath in mine shall lay,
If love be true;
Having reached the stars of our prime,
Quite far from the rumblings of the matchbox called Time,
I shall be you.
